Job Description
Overview NEU Battery Materials aims to be the largest, cleanest, and most neutral source of recycled lithium globally. The firm developed the world’s first patented electrochemical redox recycling method that only uses electricity and water. This revolutionary approach is paving the way for a more sustainable future in LFP battery recycling. This role is about figuring things out. You’ll spend your time understanding the current state of our technology, identifying what we don’t yet know, and using a combination of your technical background and genuine curiosity to come up with ideas worth testing. Then you’ll run those experiments, interpret the results, and work toward solutions that are designed from the start to translate to commercial scale. The scope spans electrolyzer development, electrode and electrocatalyst work, impurity removal, electrolyte behaviour, mass and water balances, and broader chemical and electrochemical challenges as they arise. Some problems will be clearly defined. Others you’ll need to frame yourself. You’ll work closely with the Engineering Team.
